One possible deck would be about half cheap spells and half 5+ mana minions and then run Vanndar Stormpike as well.
A different approach would be to run only 2-4 mana minions and Taelan Fordring. In particular Encumbered Pack Mule would be great in such a deck: play it early vs aggro, keep it in hand for a later tempo swing against slower decks.

aaaand there goes my hope for Deathrattle support.
Oh, well. How to turn the joy of opening a Legendary into disappointment.
Crazy how much people love this card because if it was released like two years ago people would have called it another shitty 400 dust legendary and then complained that RNG was ruining the game.
I don't think anyone loves this card from a competitive point of view. Its just fun to try out
Yes, that is why I said "Another shitty 400 dust legendary" because back then people would have ripped into the devs for printing a bad card with rng attached
Your point lines up pretty well with the devs' shifting design philosophies swinging too far one way then the opposite. A couple of years ago they had catered a bit too much for the type of player who likes this stuff, while recently they have barely catered to those players at all. Hopefully they can strike a better balance going forwards because it's very easy to get bored and/or disillusioned with the game when several sets pass with nothing you're really interested in.
Wow it's not just Rogue minions, its all minions
This card looks like fun! Excited to play with it and see the laughs unfold.
She only replaces minions, so the chaos is more controlled. The minions have reduced cost which means spells that guarantee to draw minions like Swindle or Shroud of Concealment will be better value-wise.
"Play 30 or so discounted cards from Fleetrunner"
Hate for this to be included in one of those achievements, when even I don't want to craft this.
Academic Espionage + Tess Greymane is sooo much better. I don't like the fact that it replaces all minions that should be crucial, be that in wild or in standart
Fun idea. I love steal cards but it breaks Tess. Sigh.
Card text:
Dust this card to craft a viable epic card.
Well, there's not really much of a card here to review, because its likely only ever played for memes.
I wonder whether this will yet again repeat the same problems Deck of Lunacy brought up next year when the cards are yet again thinned down after the set rotation. The key here is that the minions are from other classes, which means neutrals dont count, which also means the range of possibility is fairly small the higher up the mana you get.
Its weird how only rogue, mage and perhaps warlock, always seem to get these 'meme' cards as legendaries, when there are archetypes that currently require help. We had maestra the last time, and now this. Because a case can be made to print legendary support for deathrattle, shuffle, or maybe even pirate rogue but instead that one slot is taken over by a card which is specifically designed not to be competitive. I get that cards like these are meant solely for fun, but enjoyment can be gained from executing a niche, but competitively viable, gameplan as well.
I was pondering the 3 classes you identified as getting meme legendaries, and it occurred to me that rogue and mage especially are cockroach classes. Specific archetypes of theirs might not come to fruition, but they pretty much always have a presence in the meta no matter how much silly stuff they are given. Plus, between burgle rogue and casino mage they both have long-standing meme archetypes that are guaranteed to find an audience no matter how weak they are, meaning the meme cards are never truly wasted.
In the end though, I wouldn't get too caught up on the legendary slot when it isn't a quest or hero card, since any support taking that spot would be even more useful as a common, rare or epic.
Hope I get Golden. Will make everything shiny.
The wording is a little unclear by whether it changes class according to your hero's class, or by each card's class. Normally that wouldn't matter much, but with Maestra of the Masquerade being an obvious inclusion in the same deck, it is relevant.
Anyway, anti-synergy with Tess aside, it's nice to see them commit hard to a burgle card again. Lately their design philosophy has felt like it was backtracking the value generation of the Year of the Dragon a little too much, often at the expense of being able to have those games that HS has long been designed for: the ones that you actually tell stories about. That requires more cards like this, that nobody bothers to worry about how strong it is because it will never see meta play, but it will see an absolute ton of casual play. As @Jagu said below: it is an actual Hearthstone card, and let's hope there are more to come.
Edit: I also just looked at the art closely, and she's clearly a rogue since she decided the best way to 'capture' the Horde flag was to cheat the system by cutting off part of it and hoping that counts. Lol. I guess it explains how she's so fleet of foot.
I fail to see how this affects Maestra. This is a Rogue card, as soon as you play it, the jig is up. (it changes Maestra, but I don't think the class swap is tied to the minion)
